A Joke Contest!
Greetings reuse fans!
We hope that everyone remembers our very successful “The Environment is No Joke Campaign,” featured at 2015’s Big Pour, Light Up Night, and First Night! This campaign, created by and donated to CJ by MARC USA, aims to bring reuse to a wider audience. Together we created doors that feature environmentally-themed knock knock jokes and art by local artists. You read the first half of the joke on the door, then when the door is opened the punchline is revealed!! It’s a fantastic campaign idea, and at our First Night display we loved how much fun kids had with the knock, knock jokes – a great way to begin talking to kids about reuse.
In celebration of National Recycle Day on November 15th (sadly there is no official National Reuse Day), we want you to submit your own environmental knock, knock jokes, like this:
“Knock, knock!” “Who’s there?” “Norma Lee!” “Norma Lee this stuff ends up in a landfill!”
CJ staff will choose 5 winners who will each receive their choice of 2 tickets to the 2017 Big Pour or a $150 CJ gift card! The winning jokes will be featured on an electronic door that will be on display at the Pittsburgh International Airport for the world to see! Your joke could also be featured on the next artist inspired door!
To enter email your environmentally friendly joke, or use #CJNOJOKE when you post to our Facebook page or Tweet it. Remember the deadline’s November 15th!
